If you were drawn in by this headline, it shows just how tempting this is, as Teacher Chang Rong explains below: red packets are a simple, crude, yet highly effective tool for team management. We hope this article helps with your team's management and motivation. When WeChat's electronic "red packets" were flying all over the WeChat world, the author won't delve into the feelings and psychology of grabbing them. However, when applying "red packets" as an incentive for channels, promotional staff, and consumers in marketing work, the author sincerely applauds Mr. Liang Jinrui of Huishan for his keen, systematic, and immediate marketing pragmatism. In each region, with the distributor as the unit, all terminal promotional staff are organized into a WeChat group chat platform. Based on this platform, when each promoter closes a sale at the terminal, they just post a photo of the shopping receipt, and the distributor, according to the pre-determined reward standards, immediately sends a red packet in the group chat. The red packet's message specifies the exact recipient and includes encouraging words. At the end of each workday, based on the day's overall performance, the distributor also sends some luck-based red packets to boost the group's lively atmosphere. In the initial trial in the Hangzhou market, this method worked extremely well, quickly mobilizing the enthusiasm of terminal sales staff. Through further summarization and refinement, Liang Jinrui turned the "red packet" incentive into a regional policy and quickly promoted it across the region with great results! The maternal and child channel is a major channel for milk powder. Huishan milk powder generally does not allocate promotional staff to this channel, so how to incentivize store sales? Through understanding, Liang Jinrui suggested distributors do this: first, establish a group chat platform for store owners in the maternal and child channel. Whenever a store makes its routine stock replenishment, as long as they post the purchase voucher or payment proof in the group, after confirmation by the distributor, a pre-determined restocking reward red packet is immediately sent in the group, designated for that store. Of course, this red packet belongs to the store! For red packet incentives after actual store sales, when the store owner posts the transaction voucher or image, the distributor immediately sends a targeted red packet in the group. This red packet is not a store incentive but is meant to be passed on by the store owner to the salesperson who facilitated the deal, with a screenshot of the transfer posted in the group for verification. In addition to transactions, general new-customer rewards are also distributed this way. With the red packet incentive, Huishan milk powder quickly won the support of staff in maternal and child stores, and sales velocity improved invisibly but rapidly! Compared to brands that only reward once a month, this is far more tempting. As the Chinese saying goes, "Copper in hand is better than silver in the distance" — that's the truth of it! For consumer cash discounts, red packets are also used. First, through the promoter platform, the distributor sends the red packet to the promoter, who then sends it to consumers on their own customer platform. However, due to the randomness and mobility of consumers, malicious grabbing of red packets sometimes occurs. How to prevent this? See below! Marketing has no limits. Red packets originated from WeChat and became popular in communication, but using them as an incentive in milk powder marketing is truly effective! Marketing is all about results, especially at the terminal transaction stage. No matter what method you use, whether highbrow or lowbrow, as long as it stimulates people's numb desire nerves, you've succeeded! Don't worry about when the "red packet" trend will end; as long as you do it effectively, your marketing work has ridden the wave! As for what happens next, that's a matter for later! Editor's PS: The WeChat red packet feature started in WeChat groups. The editor has also seen methods in several companies' work groups where red packets are used to motivate work. Generally, the rules are:

  1. Team payment progress: When the day's/month's designated target is met, a red packet reward is sent, with the amount flexibly controlled based on needs.
  2. Daily goal tracking: For example, new store development that day, terminal activities that day, or cut-case and display building that day—each time one is achieved and a photo is posted in the WeChat group, an immediate red packet reward is given.
  3. Negative incentives: For those who don't meet progress or fail to achieve the day's set goals, a penalty red packet is sent in the group for everyone to grab.
  4. Human touch red packets: On hot days, the boss sends a red packet for everyone to buy a cold drink; during holidays, a festive red packet is sent. Generally, the red packet amount shouldn't be too large—ranging from a few yuan to ten or twenty yuan. The essence of small red packet incentives is to use a fast reward feedback mechanism to keep employees enthusiastic and improve work efficiency through continuous small incentives—low cost, fast, and effective. The editor has only seen these so far. While they may not be professional tactics, they are very effective when used well.
